Description
Abstract (cited)
Very few parish registers survive from Early Modern Ireland, and those that do have rarely been systematically exploited by scholars. This chapter addresses this lacuna in the historiography of Early Modern Ireland by paying close attention to the Church of Ireland registers from Youghal, Co. Cork in the period 1660–1720. It sets out what the registers can tell us about births and deaths in the town, as well as the apparent impact of disease and epidemics in an urban setting. The chapter explores causes of death and also offers a case study of birth patterns in one family.
